I am a diehard Ford guy, and I want GM to remain strong for the workers and for the stockholders. I hate the POS Toyota Turdra that we had, that POS got traded in on a better quality F250 Crew Cab Powerstroke diesel. As far as the Titan, what an ugly truck for sure.

I was born in Canada, but the vehicles I own are exclusively American. I feel good knowing I can go to the local hardware store to get a fanbelt or thermostat instead of having to jump through hoops like other people I know.Originally Posted by 1984kxtTECATE

I'm a diehard Chevy fan with a DEEP love of the Ford Mustang (1986 and later) as well.
[*]BUT.....[/*]
GM had better get their head out of their rear ends and "go out on a limb" like Ford and Chrysler to make cars people CRAVE, not just "need".
A few examples:
1. Chrysler comes out with the PT Cruiser some years ago and it's a hit. Now it's sales have plummeted. What does GM do? They FINALLY bring a PT Cruiser wanna-be to the market.....WAY too late. A guaranteed flop.
2. GM nixes the Camaro and Firebird and what do they give us? The GTO....A collossal sales failure in it's first year. Why? Take a look at the price! What were they thinking? The GTO really is a fabulous car under the skin but it's about the most boring body style I've ever seen....bloated Cavalier anyone?
3. GM STILL doesn't have a pony car. Lo and behold Ford comes out with a car that I absolutely crave-the 2005 Mustang GT for $25,000 starting price! And they can't make enough of them....have you tried to find a GT lately? Few and far between.
Wait and see....GM will take at LEAST 2 more years to get their act together and produce the new Camaro/Firebird (it's coming, trust me) BUT.....I can guarantee you GM will grossly overprice it.....wanna put bets on $30,000+ starting price? I think I'd win that bet.
Meanwhile, Chrysler has produced the 300C sedan which makes me drool to no end. And they sell each and every one. Put "hemi" on it and it will sell.
GM sedans comparable to the 300? Let's see....Buick? Pontiac? Chevy? Nope.
I could go on for hours.

the SSR can't be compared to a PT cruiser. PT cruiser- built on a neon chassis with a weak 4 cyl. SSR- full frame, all aluminum 327. The SSR is a specialty vehicle, and it was a big hit. They only made a limited number of them and they are all sold.

I am not talking about the SSR.
I am talking about the little "mini retro Suburban-looking" thing that Chevy is coming out with.
It's a copy of the PT, just a wee bit larger.
With the Colorado 4 or 5 cyl., I believe.
The SSR was a sales flop in the first year.
GM had a phenomenal backlog of SSR's and GTO's sitting at dealers across the country.
Around here, they had HUGE discounts/rebate programs just to move them.
The GTO, for example, had $6000-8000 rebates just to clear them out.
WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
Personally?
First off, they're WAY over priced.
Secondly, I think it's because of car-savvy buyers.
Most folks KNEW GM would put a sedate, simple version of the GTO and SSR out in the first year.
And they did!
What do we get for 2005?
1. An SSR with some BITE (the 6 liter LS2!!) and a 6 speed manual.
2. A GTO with NINETY more HP (the 6 liter LS2!!)and an improved look (DUAL exhaust and some plastic improvements).
